You’ve never seen a brain like this… This is the most detailed map of the human brain ever made. And it only maps a slice of the brain smaller than a grain of rice. Here’s how scientists at Harvard did this… If you think this is cool, subscribe for more optimistic science and tech stories! #brain #science #technology #animation

What’s really inside the Earth? The deepest hole humans have ever dug went only 0.2% of the way to the Earth’s center. But then… how do we know that our planet has a solid core that seems to spin at its own rate?

Huge news from Google DeepMind: This paper is a new announcement about AlphaFold, the tool being used to solve what has been called one of the most important issues in modern science. Our team at HUGE* got to read this paper before it just got released, so let me explain what AlphaFold does and why this announcement is a big deal.... This is truly huge if true!

How many Earths do you think would fit inside Neptune? Saturn? Our Sun? Most people don’t understand how mind-blowingly HUGE other planets in our solar system actually are. And what’s REALLY wild is there are an estimated 100 billion planets in our galaxy. There is so much out there to discover… If you like optimistic science and tech stories, subscribe for more.

These ties have no air in them. They were created to stop flat tires and the large amount of resulting rubber waste. But tire companies and others, including NASA, have been working on airless tires for years… so why don’t we have them yet?? Here’s why they’re so tricky. This video is part of our show Huge If True.

This is the world’s smallest particle accelerator. The whole thing can fit on a dime! Here’s how this works and why it matters... You might’ve heard of a particle accelerator called the Large Hadron Collider. It’s a 17 mile (27km) underground tunnel where particles speed up to nearly the speed of light, and then smashed together. This tiny new particle accelerator created by researchers at FAU is 54 million times smaller than that. Instead of a big loop, it shoots electrons into a channel of hundreds of tiny silicon pillars, each just 2 micrometers tall. (For reference, FIFTY micrometers is the diameter of a human hair!) The goal with the Large Hadron Collider is to study particle collisions. But the goal with this tiny particle accelerator is to one day make it into highly-targeted way of killing cancer cells. You could imagine sticking this tiny accelerator on the end of a scope into the patient’s body, exactly where you’d want to treat with precise radiation. Right now though, this accelerator is too weak, they’d need to make it a lot more powerful. But for now, this is an exciting proof-of-concept. And it’s just plain wild to me that we can accelerate particles at all - in a massive tunnel or the size of a dime. People are amazing.
